22 Ways To Calm A Crying Baby
10 Baby Food Safety Tips
- Never leave your baby alone with food. Stay close during feeding time, and know how to handle a choking baby.
- Don't give your baby nuts, hot dogs, pretzel sticks, chips, raw carrots and other items that could cause choking. Give your baby foods that are ,ashed, pureed, or easily dissolve in baby's mouth (like Ritz cracker).
- Never give honey to a child under 12 months of age. Some pediatricians even recommend waiting until your child is more than 18 months old.
- Be careful with common allergens such as peanut butter, orange juice, eggs, corn and wheat. If your family has a history of allergies, speak to your pediatrician about what solids you might avoid and for how long.
- Don't store uneaten portions of food in the fridge-throw them out. Saliva from your baby's mouth can cause bacteria to grow in unused portions of food.
- Never microwave food for your baby. Even if stirred thoroughly, some parts may remain hot and could burn your child. Most jarred baby food doesn't need to be heated anyway, and you can always heat food in your oven or on the stovetop.
- Don't reduce your baby's fat intake when feeding solids. Your baby will not benefit from "light" foods or "low fat" foods; he needs the fat.
- Never put baby cereal or any other solid food into a bottle for baby. It can be a choking hazard and is not good for the teeth.
- Don't give your baby food in the car. Unless you are watching him at all times (which means you aren't watching the road!) you may not hear him if he starts to choke.
- Be careful with foods that can get caught in the teeth (such as raisins). Wipe your baby's gums and teeth with a wet washcloth until he is old enough to brush.
Lullaby Lyrics
Incey Wincey Spider
The Incey Wincey spider
Climbed up the spout
Down came the rain
And wash the spider out
Out came the sun
And dried up all the rain
And incey wincey spider
Climbed up againHush Little Baby
Hush little baby, don't say word
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird won't sing
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring turns brass
Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass
And if that looking glass gets broke
Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat
And if that mockingbird won't sing
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring turns brass
Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass
And if that looking glass gets broke
Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat
And if that billy goat won't pull
Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull
Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull
And is that cart and bull turn over
Papa's gonna buy you a dog named Rover
And if that dog named Rover won't bark
Papa's gonna buy you a horse and cart
Papa's gonna buy you a dog named Rover
And if that dog named Rover won't bark
Papa's gonna buy you a horse and cart
And if that horse and cart fall down
You still be the sweetest little baby in town
You still be the sweetest little baby in town
